If you’re looking for a timepiece for your desktop, look no further than this hip modern clock from CB2. I really like the see-through LCD display and brushed metal frame which let it seamlessly blend into pretty much any environment.

The display features a simulated analog clock face along with a digital readout for a secondary time zone…

Recent breakthroughs in physics and component miniaturization have enabled the creation of an atomic clock that measures just 2″ x 2″ x 0.7″.
Symmetricom’s SA.3Xm miniature rubidium atomic clock module is about 1/5th the size of the smallest atomic clocks which are currently available…

I’m absolutely in love with these cool metal robot watches. Not only can you wear them on your wrist, they pop out of the band to become mini-clocks you can put on your desk.

Each of the little guys has flexible metal arms, and a little pair of “headphones” on top of his head that come in handy if you want to hang it from a pendant or a keychain…

In my travels, I’ve seen a few clocks made from old hard drives. They’re typically made by stripping out the guts of an old hard drive, slapping a cheap $2 clock mechanism through the platters, then call it a day. On the other hand, here’s a hard disk based clock hack that really is an engineering marvel…

For some reason, clock makers keep trying to bring back the magic of Nixie tubes without using any of the actual tubes. First, we had the LED “Nixie” Clock, and now we get this cheapo version that uses LCDs instead…

These clever little clocks from Rie Isono of Japan’s Pear Design Studio look like shopping bags. Each one has a handle built in to the case so you can carry it anywhere you go.

The little shopping bag clocks are sold under the brand name “innocent” and come in four stylish color combinations. My personal favorite is the Dreamsicle-inspired orange and white combo…

A while back, I told you about a little solar system clock from Japan. It didn’t accurately represent the positions of the planets or anything but the time of day (and I’m not even sure it did that right). If you’re looking for something with a bit more accuracy and substance, you might want to check this out…

This clock kind of reminds me of watching those information screens on Bloomberg TV. LEXON’s Status digital wall alarm clock lets you check the time, date, day and weather forecast all at a quick glance.

By combining all of these features onto a single large LCD screen, the Status clock gives you a heads-up display of all this information at once…
